I sent a photo of a 'friend's' quilt, (not shown here) via Instagram, that had been entered into QuiltCon2023 and had made its way to Melbourne for this exhibition. I was excited to see it! We had been in bees and swaps together over the last 15 years. She politely thanked me and I moved on. The hurt came about when she posted another picture to both Instagram and her blog, of the same quilt that a more well-known blogger had sent her via Instagram two days later. My post obviously meant nothing to her!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Real life is tough enough without my virtual life being cruel too!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;
